How do I make a plane more maneuverable?

I know how to make a plane fly and if I make the elevators too big it turns too much so what do I do?

    @Chevygmoney If a plane feels unresponsive and slow to turn, it needs better balance. (closer CoM and CoL) If a plane feels responsive but sloppy, It's balanced but could use more lift. If a plane is tightly responsive but slow, it has plenty of lift but is unbalanced. From what you said, it sounds like its balanced but needs more lift. Try larger main wings to lower that lbs/sqft wing loading. A loading under 50 should easily be enough on a balanced plane

    Because when the com and col get close it becomes really... Loose it the air I will pull up and it will do that but it keeps going the original direction@Tully2001

    @Chevygmoney Speed is a big factor in maneuverability try using a different speed. Too low it won't gain lift and turns will be slow. Too fast turns will be quick, sharp, and may cause damage. The point is find a happy medium on speed.
